The tour group will explore the ways in which architecture is being used and abused in the current conflict, with the construction of hill-top settlements, the demolition of Palestinian homes and the annexation of important religious and architectural sites behind the Wall. The trip will include guided tours of the ancient cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nablus, by expert local grassroots organisations such as the Alternative Tourism Group and the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions. The group will also visit villages where Palestinians are being dispossessed of some of their cultural and religious heritage, as well as fertile agricultural land, through the construction of the Wall. Designed for those with a particular interest in architecture, the tour will also suit anyone wanting to gain a general understanding of the current situation in Palestine and Israel, giving them the opportunity to see the Wall, visit refugee camps and meet inspiring Palestinian and Israeli individuals and organisations.
